We're making changes!!!

After: -taken at 1opm-so the lighting is horrible!


















Before pictures above--plain khaki walls.




As many of you know, I have the painting bug. Have had it for years. Some of my friends have yet to put one color on their walls in years, while I have changed rooms many a times! David and I FINALLY spent this past weekend painting the downstairs family room and dining room! I am so excited to not have little hand prints on my walls that do not belong to my kids!





We JUST finished at 11pm Sunday night after 18 LONG hours of painting. We make a great team, but I am telling you my back is killing me from stretching for our high ceilings in the dining room! Nothing is on the walls, but here is a sample of before and after...

A Month of Family Fun!!

Right: Mimi/Papa Bob before the Spring Concert at HCCSA.

Right: Dad and Lauren before Father/Daughter "Hawaiin" Dance. David wore attire, but Lauren opted for her favorite brown dress!


















Davis is learning to be bat both left/right handed...David is elated! Davis' coach gave him the nickname "hoover" the first practice because he catches everything that gets near him and sucks the ball into his glove! Davis is not too fond of the name because I think he thinks Matt (coach) is teasing him. But it truthfully is funny to hear Matt call him "Hoover" on the field!
We had a very busy month since my last posting. We ended basketball for both kids and started up baseball for Davis and volleyball for Lauren. Lauren went on a "dad/daughter" date to the girl scouts "father/daughter dance". They had a blast! My parents came to watch the kids perform in their first annual spring concert at school. Unfortunately, David's parents were unable to make it due to being under the weather.


We spent Easter weekend in Houston with my parents and Rob, Erin and Dylan and Wyatt. Unfortunately, I do not have any pictures to share digitally because I went directly to CVS and uploaded them to print for scrapbook night and accidently deleted them off my memory card! SORRY! But, ensure..a fun time was had by all despite the gross weather!
